Thanks!
Looks nice!
Thank you 🦩
If you make your thread catcher to fit inside, under the pincushion, you could do a three piece set? With a not so thick/deep pincushion, and long quilting pins, I like a card or plastic sheet in the base, so I don't pin myself finding needles in my pin-cushion. I made a pincushion with ×6, 2 1/2" squares, like a cube. I do push the bottom up to make the heads pop out at times. Sometimes the flower heads come off the pins and they go inside too. I might put ceareal box card in the base of the bowl too, it may bend if full, and I don't want to pick them up all the time. Thank-you for the tutorials. P.s. great idea to "bag out" the corners. A short back-stitch will do the top curves. Your rectangle one shoud be good for pens and markers etc. I might make some to keep my cutlery drawer sorted, the old style cupboard has 3 drawers for cutlery, but no dividers for teaspoons or sharp knives. Those would work for coins and keys when your man empties his pockets out.
Thank you for watching and leaving the great tips. I don’t make a lot of pincushions but I think I’ll take your advice and add a bit of plastic to the bottom. Maybe a piece of Dollar Tree placemat or cutting mat. If there’s a pin anywhere near me I will find a way to get stabbed. 🪡
@@rsislandcrafts I cut the flat side off a clean milk bottle. Cheaper still. I cut them up for barbie clothes coat hangers too.
Milk jugs are very handy.
Very nice little project. I like it with the pincushion pillow inside.
This was fun. I made one along with you. I decided to sew a narrow seam around the bottom seams, too, like the top one. I needed more stability.
They’re fun to make. Your little basket is very cute.
You do like to chat 😊. Cute box/basket. Thanks for the tutorial.
Yes I do 😁. It makes It feel like you’re sitting with a group of friends chatting and sewing. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s perfect for many. Thanks!
Hi Robin. Your little tray would be great for travel to hold your watch, rings or whatever.
Brilliant idea. It also allows us to bring something we made with us to brighten up a hotel or wherever we’re staying.
Nice little craft to make to put a small present in of to keep. thanks
Thanks Pat 🦩
Such a cute basket and very vercityle
This fabulous Robin thank you. A lovely little project for lockdown. How are you doing? I hop you are looking after yourself and keeping safe. Big hugs and loves xxxxxxxxx 🌟🙋🏻❤️😘
Thanks you Dorothy! I’m trying to behave myself. 😁 I am doing my best to keep safe and healthy. I tend to be a bit crazy during flu season anyways. I hope you are well.
Very nice, thanks Gloria M.
Cute idea 🤗
Thanks, Robin!
Quick and easy and looks so nice !
Cute cute cute!! I like Hershey almond candy bars! Lol😉
They are so handy. I love them and I’ve made several all different sizes. Very cute!
They are fun to make. I like making fabric baskets.
Thank you for sharing ,I made it very useful
🦩
I am going to give that a try
I love trying new things even if they don’t turn out exactly as I had expected.
Hi Robin! Those fabric tray/pin cushions are great for taking to classes or sewing on the go! I've made mine with little darts on the corners. I love my Kai scissors -sharp to the tips!
I’ve heard those are the best scissors.
Hi Robin! Thanks for this! I think I need to make one similar to the one your friend sent you - a great way to combine my small clip collection and my pins.
I really love her version. After things are open and stabilizers are stocked back up I’m running out for the heavy weight stabilizer. I really think that’s the key piece I’m missing. The little bins are wonderful but I love the pincushion version best.
Smart idea chillie here
Super cute little project and just the right size to use up lots of little scraps!
Me Like!
Love these little trays - great for using up small pieces of fabric, even selvedges :)
I was thinking; why not sew all 3 layers together around the edges, then cut off the 4 corners - saves jumping from corner to corner. Hope to make some, sometime soon - I have a few of your tutorials to try out :)
Mostly because this was how I was learned 🤷♀️. You could very easily do it that way.
What a cute idea! I think I'd like to try this using the foam interface. I have lots of those 10" blocks, so that's what I'm going to use. Thanks for the tips, too.
I always come up with ideas as I’m recording a video for you guys. I think the foam would work wonderfully for this type of project. I actually have foam too 🙄
I really like those, so cute and neat idea.
Lol- just fill it with candy and they will never see the basket. When in doubt, distract- words to live by 😄
🤣
I think I might try one and use plastic canvas between the fabrics.
That’s a great idea.
I was looking forward to this tutorial. Would you recommend the heavyweight interfacing? That's the only one I'm out of and haven't been to the store yet to check their stock.
I think It needs something with structure. Some people say you can double up on interfacing but I’ve never tried It so I don’t know how well It works. My thoughts? Try what you have on hand with some average fabric or holiday fabric and see how It turns out. I don’t normally have a variety of interfacing on hand so I couldn’t test different weights out.
The pattern you were looking for is called “small fabric catch all”
Thank you!
I will try this one tomorrow for my wonderclips and using 9x9 "
🦩
Really love your patterns and projects. But all the talking!!!
Thank you! Yes, this video was more of a sew with me style video. Made to feel like we’re all crafting together and chatting about what we’re making. I find it’s good for the new sewers to hear the process of some projects and to hear why things worked or didn’t work.
